Glutamate transporter protein
Glutamate transporter protein, molecular model. This is a membrane protein that facilitates the uptake of glutamate by a cell, thus playing an important role in neurology in higher organisms. This model shows a glutamate transporter protein found in the micro-organism Pyrococcus horikoshii. The model shows the bowl-shape formed by the trimer, with the three colours indicating the three chains. The total number of amino acids in this protein is 422. Pyrococcus is a thermophilic genus of the Archaea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a Glutamate transporter protein found in the micro-organism Pyrococcus horikoshii. With its white background, the image allows us to focus solely on this remarkable membrane protein and appreciate its significance in neurology. Glutamate transporter proteins play a crucial role in higher organisms by facilitating the uptake of glutamate into cells. This process is vital for proper neurological function. The model depicted here reveals the trimer's distinctive bowl-like shape, with each color representing one of the three chains that make up this protein. With a total of 422 amino acids, this particular glutamate transporter protein from Pyrococcus horikoshii offers valuable insights into thermophilic archaea. These heat-loving microorganisms thrive in extreme environments and have unique adaptations that allow them to survive at high temperatures. The detailed illustration beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this biological macromolecule. Its structural features provide scientists with essential information for studying metabolism, proteomics, and biochemistry related to glutamate transporters. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional artwork that combines scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. This print serves as a reminder of how nature's microscopic wonders can inspire our understanding of biology while showcasing their inherent beauty.
